Balloon Has anyone used Xobni for Outlook?
Xobni (Inbox spelled backwards) is a free plug-in available for Outlook which looks like it has some cool features that would be helpful to those who pretty much live and die by their Outlook.

(Note: I no longer use Outlook but it seems like some of these features could be very helpful to either VA's who do or to their clients or for VAs who manage their client's Outlook.)

This plug-in, which has the blessing of Microsoft, will do a variety of different things. Some of them seem similar to how to Gmail works such as making several emails into a conversation and an email search feature where the email or person you are looking for appears as you type.

It will also extract the phone number from a signature and puts it in the Xobni sidebar for quick access. If you have Skype installed on your computer it automatically puts the number in as a button that you can push to call. (Go here for a pic of what this looks like.)

The other cool feature is that if you want to send an email with times you are available to schedule a meeting or something, it will scan your calendar and place the available dates and times in an email for you.

There are a few more features that help to make it handy little tool. Have you used this tool? Let me know how you like it...
